Decades of clinical research and medtech innovation have combined to offer solutions for every segment of the spine. Economics and innovation have also made spine surgery one of the strongest growth of all medtech markets. MedMarket Diligence’s new global report on spine surgery device markets reveals opportunities for established, emerging, and potential medtech players.

The $9.17 billion global market for cervical fusion, thoracolumbar Implants, MIS spine fusion, interbody fusion, and orthobiologics has evolved dramatically over the last several decades as a result of significant advances in the understanding of spinal biomechanics, the proliferation of sophisticated spinal instrumentation devices, surgical advances in bone fusion techniques, refinement of anterior approaches to the spine and the emergence and development of microsurgical, minimally invasive methods and robotics. As a result of these advances it is now possible to stabilize every segment of the spine successfully, regardless of the offending pathology. The global market for spine surgery devices is detailed in the MedMarket Diligence report, “Global Market for Medical Device Technologies in Spine Surgery, 2014-2021.” See Report #M540.

“While this market may be dominated by the bigs — Medtronic, DePuy, Stryker, Zimmer-Biomet, et al. – there remains more than enough business in spine technology to attract a remarkably large number of mid-tier and smaller market participants,” says Patrick Driscoll of MedMarket Diligence. “And there are ample participants who do not accept the status quo, by aggressively innovating and introducing clinical and economic improvement in spine surgery.”

Spine fusion is the fastest growing technology in spine surgery and with growth in spine surgery being fastest in the Asia-Pacific and Central/Latin America, the growth of spine fusion in those areas is double-digit. The improvements in spine surgery and technology development have produced steady growth in volumes of surgeries, supported by reimbursement and clinical outcomes (and the increasingly active aging population). Spine surgery, with its exponential growth, has been the answer to an orthopaedic industry seeking to optimize earnings and add value for shareholders.

The MedMarket Diligence report, “Global Market for Medical Device Technologies in Spine Surgery, 2014-2021: Established and Emerging Products, Technologies and Markets in the Americas, Europe, Asia/Pacific and Rest of World,” (report #M540) is a detailed market and technology assessment and forecast of the products and technologies in the management of diseases and disorders of the spine. The report describes the diseases and disorders of the spine, characterizing the patient populations, their current clinical management, and trends in clinical management as new techniques and technologies are expected to be developed and emerge.

The report details the currently available products and technologies, and the manufacturers offering them. The report details the products and technologies under development and markets for each in spine surgery. The report provides a current and forecast assessment by region/country of procedures and manufacturer revenues for, specifically, Americas (United States, Rest of North America, Latin America), European Union (United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (Japan, China, India, Rest of Asia/Pacific) and Rest of World. The forecast addresses the product- and country-specific impacts in the market of new technologies through the coming decade.

The report profiles 38 of the most notable current and emerging companies in this industry, providing data on their current products, current market position and products under development. The products and activities of numerous additional startup and emerging companies are also detailed in the report.

I serve the interests of medical technology company decision-makers, venture-capitalists, and others with interests in medtech producing worldwide analyses of medical technology markets for my audience of mostly medical technology companies (but also rapidly growing audience of biotech, VC, and other healthcare decision-makers). I have a small staff and go to my industry insiders (or find new ones as needed) to produce detailed, reality-grounded analyses of current and potential markets and opportunities. I am principally interested in those core clinical applications served by medical devices, which are expanding to include biomaterials, drug-device hybrids and other non-device technologies either competing head-on with devices or being integrated with devices in product development. The effort and pain of making every analysis global in scope is rewarded by my audience's loyalty, since in the vast majority of cases they too have global scope in their businesses.
Specialties: Business analysis through syndicated reports, and select custom engagements, on medical technology applications and markets in general/abdominal/thoracic surgery, interventional cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, patient monitoring/management, wound management, cell therapy, tissue engineering, gene therapy, nanotechnology, and others.
